: Which manufacturers are producing mid-level and high-end artwork scanners? I have been asked to do some research into mid-level and high-end flatbed A3 scanners used for professional artwork scanning

I have been asked to do some research into mid-level and high-end flatbed A3 scanners used for professional artwork scanning (think illustrations for children books). I am not acquainted with this market and have some hard time even identifying what brands to look into.

For an example of high-end: graphics.kodak.com/US/en/product/image_capture/professional_scanners/iqsmart_scanners/iqsmart3
Example of mid-level: www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=E10000XL-PH
So right now I have Kodak and Epson. What other manufacturers should I look into?

: How to make an adjustment layer to affect only one layer or one group of layers in Photoshop? In Photoshop I am trying to apply a hue/saturation to just one or a group of layers instead

: Rather than using opacity of the brush, you should choose shades of gray for your brushes. That way overlapped strokes will not add up and get darker. You can also use "Lighten" and "Darken"

Definitely check out Contex. If this is relatively low volume work, Plustek makes an excellent A3 flatbed.

One technique that's very effective in this kind of research is to call around places that offer this kind of service and ask them what equipment they use. You'll quite often get a manager or a technician who has deep knowledge of the subject and will be happy to download years of experience.

Microtek has been in the professional market for some time, but may not be at the top of their game.

I frequently have to reproduce fine art (flat objects) and I use a digital camera and good photo lights.
